he size n was derived through simple random sampling by the following formula Cochran, 1982:

= size of the household population

µ = average income of population of the households in
the slum areas From the study by Patriasih
et al. 2009 it is found that the standard deviation for the income of households who have street
children in Bandung, West Java is Rp 103 244,-capitamonth. In this case it is assumed that the income of the households in slum areas
approaches the income of the households of the street children so that s in the above formula will be close to s=103 244,-. he accuracy
value is set at d=103700,- the maximum diference between the average income of samples and population, with the probability of

v=1.96. With an assumption that the population size of households in slum area is big or N=∼, so n can be calculated as
follows:
Sample allocation is presented in Table 4.1 below. Table 4.1. Sample allocation by research location

With the sample size n=300, it can mean that the maximum diference between the average income of the sample from households
and of its population is Rp 11700 with the probability of 95 . his is based on the assumption that sampling is made by a simple random
technique without replacement.
4.3. Data Collection
Data to be collected consist of primary and secondary data. he primary data include:
1. Data on social aspects formal education, occupation, household ownership, asset
2. Data on income and expenditure 3. Data on food consumption food frequency, food habits, and food
recall
33 4. METHOD
4. Hygiene, food safety and environmental sanitation 5. Healthy life styles
6. Anthropometric data 7. Morbidity
8. Knowledge, attitude, practice of nutrition 9. Coping mechanism for food insecurity
he methods of measurement and collection for primary data are listed in Table1 below. he secondary data are the information related
to population, sanitation, garbage disposal, water sources in the slum area. he data was collected by ive enumerators. hey are student in
their eighth semester and graduates in the related ields. hey were selected through interviews. Before collecting data, the enumerators are
trained and informed of the research materials that include objectives, scope, methods of illing in questionnaires and interview techniques.

he data were collected by using questionnaires. For this purpose, a questionnaire was designed and tried out irst before use. he feedback
from the try-out was used to improve the questionnaire as to make it more operational.
After the data were collected, they were directly checked. For incomplete or incorrect data, the enumerators had to have them
completed or corrected. he researchers as the supervisors were responsible for the task.
4.4. Data Analysis and Management
he preparation before the data entry involved coding variables and creating the structure of iles. he data were checked irst for
editing before the entry. he ile structure was arranged by using Microsoft excel. he data were put into a ile structure, and then they
were edited by comparing them with the data in the questionnaire. For any diference , the data were edited or corrected.
After the data in the ile were edited, the next steps were generating variables, merging sheets, sorting and merging iles as needed so
that the data were ready for an analysis. Elementary statistics such as mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum and proportion were
estimated and presented in the forms of tables and diagrams.
4.5. Research Limitations
Some data were collected by a recalling technique, which could be
a weakness of this study because the respondents’ remembering ability may be very limited to recall all things. However, this method is the
most practically-administered one in an on-ield survey.

4.6. Relevance Of Research
Slum areas is a neglected part of urban development. his is indicated by social demographic conditions in slum areas such as high
population density, environmental conditions which are not suitable for habitation and do not meet the requirements, lack of educational,
health facilities, and of socio-cultural infrastructure. he growth of slums occurred because urbanization cannot be stopped.
Settlement will not stop as the source of the problem in the history of human life. he more expanding slum areas in a region, especially
in Jakarta, exacerbate a number of problems faced by the people living in these locations and the local government. Unit dwellings such as
houses that are too crowded, the buildings which are not permanent, limited clean water, and dirty environment are the causes of high risk
of contracting various diseases such as diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections
ARI, and skin diseases. he results of a research conducted in the slum area in Bali showed 80 admitted not having any latrines
and defecating in a river. A poor health status coupled with the low purchasing power of
food due to poverty further aggravates the condition of the nutritional status of families, particularly vulnerable groups such as infants, toddlers
and pregnant women. Riskesdas data 2010 showed that about 35 of children were stunted and 17 were malnourished.
Another impact of poverty in the slum area is the low participation rate of children to attend school and the high participation of children to
work, eventhough the government has launched a policy of compulsory education of 9 years or until junior high school level. he data show that
the number of primary school age children which were accommodated in the formal and non-formal education only reached about 98 of
the total number of primary school age children in Indonesia Lynck, 2007. he remaining 2 until now has not been served in formal
and non formal schools, which mostly occurred in remote areas. In Indonesia, the rate of primary school dropouts and children who have
